A web service and associated method is provided that allows a user to select and listen to various radio stations via the Internet. The user interface is uniquely adapted to provide the appearance and controls as if the user were selecting the radio station from a frequency selection with a frequency-based tuner. However, the frequency selected at the user interface is mapped to a website that streams the audio content associated with the selected channel over the Internet and the received audio content corresponds to Internet retrieved content rather than content received via an RF signal.
